The technician we entrusted with the installation of the photovoltaic panels rolled his eyes after the first inspection.
“Why didn’t you think of it before, with that roof completely exposed to the south-west? Working seasonally, and therefore in the months when the sun’s rays are warmer, the performance of the panels is excellent.”
In fact, we certainly cannot consider ourselves farsighted, for a hotel called “Green”. Those who started the ecological transition 10 or more years ago have reaped the rewards of their investment.
Let’s say we fixed it.
And next year, if all goes well, we will be able to carry out the second and most important intervention: thermal solar panels (the ones that also heat the water).
The roof of our oldest wing, the one overlooking the garden on the street, is also exposed on the same side as the one where we have just placed the panels.
Front of Monte Rocchetta and Lake.
These are 2 essential steps in the ECOLOGICAL TRANSITION we aim for.
Moreover, we are trying to figure out if in 2024 we will also be able to connect the solar system to the swimming pool pumps, to heat the water at least in spring and autumn.
Thanks to the insistence of my daughter Alessandra, an attitude that represents her enough ?, another important tool for perfecting energy efficiency is finishing being assembled these days. A freezer cell.
Between the kitchen, the restaurant and the bar, we used as many as 6 well-freezers. Which were opened many times a day, difficult to clean and fed each on her behalf.
Moreover, some are not even of the latest generation.
Come on, that’s not much. We hope our guests can perceive an improvement in the service. Which is the most important thing.
